In Part 2 of this two-part Global Student Voices conversation, Coach Scott Martin and Noa Kanter — Head of Counseling Services at Linden Global Learning in Berlin — dig into what international schools and families should do differently to prepare globally mobile students for the actual demands of year one of university and study abroad.Noa argues that today’s global students are over-prepared academically and dangerously under-prepared in the skills that carry them through transition: executive function, time management, stress management, and the social capacity to ask for help without shame. She makes the case for starting transition preparation in grade nine, breaking the elite-school comparison trap, replacing polished alumni success stories with honest, struggling stories, and equipping every student with anchors and a collaborative care network before they leave.She also names the hidden message many high-achieving global students internalize — that they should figure it all out alone — and offers a clear one-week action plan for school directors who want to move the needle. Resources discussed include the CIS Transition Toolkit, Linden’s Bridge program, and an upcoming free webinar for parents of IB teens (May 28).This episode is essential listening for international school heads, college counselors, parents of seniors, and any globally mobile student preparing for the next chapter.About the GuestNoa Kanter, M.A., Clinical Child Psychologist • Head of Counseling Services, Linden Global Learning • www.linden-education.com • LinkedIn: Noa Kanter.▸ GSS International School Consulting https://www.theglobalstudentsolutions.com/international-schools▸ MyCareer & College Coachhttps://www.theglobalstudentsolutions.com/MC3-Africa2.html▸ GSS Membership Networkhttps://www.theglobalstudentsolutions.com/MC3-Africa2.html#about to promote an upcoming cohortVisit theglobalstudentsolutions.com and join today.#universitytransition #internationalschool #internationalschoolcollegecounseling #thirdculturekid #executivefunction #IBtransition #globalstudents #globalstudentpreparation #comparisontrap #parentlistening #CIStoolkit #lindengloballearning #bridgeprogram #internationaleducation #globaleducation Coach Martin is an individual coaching service from the founder of GSS, Scott Martin.
